Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(20\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f_{0}=\left(\frac{v+v_{0}}{v}\right) f_{s}\)

\(f_{0}=\left(\frac{v+\frac{v}{5}}{v}\right) f_{s}\)

\(f_{0}=\frac{6}{5} f_{s}\)

\(\%\) change \(=\frac{f_{0}-f_{s}}{f_{s}} \times 100\)

\(=\frac{1}{5} \times 100=20 \%\)
